The KC 22 module includes 4 programmable input/output lines, and offers high speed serial communications up to 921Kbaud. The KC 22 is a pre engineered and pre licensed PCB module that provides fully embedded, ready to use Bluetooth wireless technology. Multi surface pads provide both bottom pads for high volume reflow soldering and edge pads for low volume hand soldering. The reprogrammable flash memory contains embedded firmware for serial cable replacement deploying the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP). Other popular Bluetooth profiles are available. Custom firmware can be pre loaded into these highly tuned and tested modules so that they are ready to install without additional procedures KC Wirefree Page 1 of 11

6 Hardware Design KC Wirefree modules provide UART and PIO hardware interfaces. This section illustrates a typical implementation. Contact our engineering department for application specific recommendations. Application Notes RESET pin must be pulled high. pin must be pulled high if not connected to a UART/RS-232 device. 10µF or larger capacitor filter for VDD input. All unused pins should be left not connected. Power supply should have less than 10mVrms noise between 0-10MHz. Regulator should have a fast response time < 20µs. It is essential that the power rail recover quickly. The area around the module should be free of any ground planes, power planes, trace routings, or metal. Minimum clearance is 5mm, but additional clearance allows improved range and throughput. Do not clean modules with Alcohol which can interact with no-clean solder flux residue. Do not use ultra sonic cleaning, which may cause interconnect damage. UART Interface The UART is compatible with the industry standard. Four signals are provided with the UART interface: the and pins are used for data, while the and pins are used for flow control. The UART pins operate at TTL voltage level and must be translated to higher RS-232 voltage levels for communicating with PC hosts. A Maxim 3225 series or similar translator is recommend. These terminals can sink 2mA, and are 5V input tolerant with 3V logic level output. PIO Interface All PIOs are capable of sinking and sourcing approximately 2mA of current. These terminals are 5V input tolerant, with 3V logic level output. PIO [0-7] are internally pulled down with 50KΩ nominal resistors, and PIO [8-15] are internally pulled up with 50KΩ nominal resistors when configured as inputs. Hosts The KC-22 module can be connected to PC or MCU hosts using the UART interface. Our firmware provides an easy to use AT style command interface using simple text commands and parameters KC Wirefree Page 6 of 11

8 Firmware Interface Our kcserial firmware provides an easy to use AT command interface using the UART. The firmware interface allows persistent storage of configuration parameters such as device name, default baud rate, and security PIN. Additionally kcserial provides operational commands such as connections, security, read/write commands for I/O pins, and our remote command mode offering this same programming interface on the linked remote device as well.

10 Firmware Loading Guide Firmware can be updated anytime over the UART interface. Firmware files are contained in their own folder, and include the following files: Preparation KCLoader.exe PreV3FlashManager_ TC_Exe_FlashCode UartFlashManager Firmware is loaded using the UART interface at 115K baud. Required connections are,,, and. KC Wirefree modules require voltage level shifting from to 5V logic for standard RS-232 computer connections. Our serial adapters and development boards already have level shifters onboard. Load Firmware Simply run the KCLoader.exe program. A DOS Command window will open, and request the COM port where the KC Bluetooth device has been connected. Next, the program with require a KC Bluetooth device RESET to begin the firmware load. Either the RESET pin on the device can be grounded for 5ms, or the power supply can be turned OFF, then ON. The new firmware will load in less than 1 minute, and automatically close when finished. Troubleshooting Any checksum errors, hardware connection problems, or other errors will halt the firmware loading procedure in the first few seconds. These errors can cause acknowledgement of hardware reset to fail, or cause the firmware loading procedure to fail after UartFlashManager startup. Errors are typically caused by noisy or poor physical UART connections to the KC Bluetooth device. Ensure the module is clean (do not use Alcohol to clean), and verify that heat, static, high voltage, or bending has not physically damaged the device. ********************************* KC Wirefree Firmware Loader Build May ********************************* Enter Device COM Port: 10 Opening COM Port 10..OK Please reset the board..ok Waiting for response..ok Request baud rate..ok Using baud.
